the Christian festival of Advent. However, I don't think it really works. I can't imagine that it really can be read to a child on a daily basis - the language seems to be aimed at no age range in particular. Of course I have no religious beliefs,so perhaps it does go down well with that audience. I thought it was over sentimental, and holds no real mysteries or surprises. More of a travelogue than a rattling good yarn, and would this reveal anything new about the nativity?

Love this book. Have read it to my sons for the last few years through Advent. It has become a tradition and read the first chapter tonight to my youngest!
I've only just started it (appropriately as today is the 1st December!) I don't think I can wait to read a chapter a day (unlike Joachim) as the chapters are too short.
